The 2019 LSU national championship football team is supporting new bling as they’ve received their rings for completing a perfect season. Special assistant to head coach Ed Orgeron, Derek Ponamsky, says each player and member of the staff received three rings to commemorate an historic season.
“There is the one that we get for winning the Southeastern Conference, there’s the one the school does for winning the national championship and then there’s the third one provided by the CFP for the championship of the playoff tournament,” said Ponamsky.
On the rings you can see the slogans “Hold That Tiger,” “One team, one heartbeat” and Ponamsky says on the inside of the national championship ring is the LSU standard of performance.
“That’s something Coach O when talking with the team says all of the time, that’s your internal motivation, your standard of performance that’s what you expect from yourself,” said Ponamsky.
Ponamsky says the team received the rings during a team meeting where they saw a video message from the players on LSU’s three previous national title teams and then Coach O told the guys look under your seat.
“They’re reaction was great, and you can see a lot of gratitude from these guys, they understood, this was hard work, but the only way you can accomplish something like this was from hard work,” said Ponamsky.
For the players and coaches who are no longer with the program, they had their rings shipped to them.
